- The cancellation of the West Coast mainline rail franchise last year was put down to “technical flaws”. The problem was actually due to incorrect formulas in the spreadsheet used for the calculations.
- In 2003 the American Mortgage giant Fanny Mae made a spreadsheet error that led to it mis-reporting it’s results by more than $1bn. Are you confident that your spreadsheets aren’t making similar errors?
- A recent extensive study by the University of Hawaii found that 85% of businesses worldwide use spreadsheets for critical aspects of managing business but over 90% of of those spreadsheets contain errors. And interestingly when told that there was a problem, only 50% of the errors could be identified by experienced users within the business.
Who knew that Jerry Springer (born 13/2/1944) had a quote about networking……………….
“All of us, whether or not we’re celebrities, every one ought to spend part of their life making someone else’s life better.”
